Solar farms dominated installations in 2014 but Conergy is now aiming to build a presence in the rooftop segment.
Conergy UK is now divided into two division: Solar Farms, headed by long-time Conergy executive Birgit Eggl; and an expanded Rooftops division, led by Paul Weaver.
Mr Weaver was previously head of energy at Balfour Beatty, responsible renewable energy developments.
Joining Paul Weaver in the Rooftops division as business development manager is Christelle Lawson, formerly sales manager at Kingspan Energy, where she was responsible for commercial roof-mounted systems in southeast England. Senior engineer Nena Kogiou completes the Rooftops team. She joined Conergy in February 2014 from Renewable Resources, where she was head of engineering for the UK installer’s Northern office.
Conergy UK & Ireland managing director Robert Goss said: “Paul Weaver and Christelle Lawson together add hundreds of megawatts’ experience over many years in multi-residential and larger public and private sector installations. They will work with our partners in the sector to source and develop the kind of high quality projects that others simply would not be able to do.”
Conergy has installed more than 700MW of solar rooftops worldwide, including for the City of Sacramento in California and Mars in Australia. Earlier this month Conergy agreed a partnership with municipal utility network Trianel that will offer solar leasing to six million homes in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands. The company has also been working with utility giant RWE to offer solar system rentals to businesses.
